The signature Don’t Speak cocktail was good. Chianti was very nice. Break basket always wonderful. Oysters were too small. Roasted beet salad was good. Roasted cabbage and lentils entree was outstanding. Chocolate hazelnut torte was very good. Service was outstanding. Christmas tree and roaring fire made it all so cozy.

Best happy hour menu. Great hush puppies. Love the pomegranate martinis. Delicious cheeseburger and spicy shrimp. We got a shark fin pie to go which is usually to die for and too much for two people to eat at one sitting. It was good, but different and not as good as it usually is. Our waitress was super.

The food was outstanding, the ambience lovely and serene, the service was impeccable. So often "fine dining experiences can take too long, but this was perfectly balanced. We were in and out in about 90 min, which was just the right combination of attentive but unobtrusive. It is pricey though, so be prepared for that.
